Perhaps you remember reading this column (last item) or this column (last item) by Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg. He made some comments about a lawsuit accusing William Kennedy-Smith of raping an employee five years ago and then harrassing her by telephone earlier this year. At least a couple bloggers wrote letters complaining about Steinberg and got responses from him and his editor. It took about a month, but the Sun-Times finally printed a letter (second item) written by Chicago NOW and Rape Victim Advocates complaining about Steinberg's views. I wonder what took them so long.
